Bottled on 8/12/21; consumed on 8/22/21
Pours a lightly foggy golden straw body capped with a finger and a half of fluffy, soapy, eggshell-white foam; decent head retention fades to a thin, spotty layer of cap, an inconsistent, frothy collar, and sparse, webby lacing holding temporarily to the walls of the glass.
Aroma presents yeasty bread dough overriding fluffy minerality upfront, steadily embracing underlying grassy hop tones as the minerality advances; touches of lemon, pear, straw spark the back end of the bouquet, though never entirely come to fruition.
Taste offers fluffy, lightly baked white bread (d)evolving to doughier notes over time and taking on a distinct, raw minerality and lager yeast texture; pear skin/apple tinge the back end as minerality continues to glisten and amplify across the profile.
Mouthfeel shows a light body, taut and crisp in consistency, with fluffs of medium-high carbonation steadily thinning to a mild grit/heft rounding toward a mlderately dry finish.
A largely immature blended helles, rarely evolving past the raw lager yeastiness and relying consistently on an overly mineralic character for a mundane sort of stability; easy to drink and decently constructed, but very little is ultimately expressed in this instance as a result.
